Pakistan in the semi-finals for the fifth time

Abu Dhabi. Pakistan’s team has become the second team to reach the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. Earlier, England’s team has also made it to the last-4. Pakistan defeated Namibia by 45 runs in a match. This is the team’s fourth consecutive win. Playing first, Pakistan had scored 189 runs for 2 wickets. In reply, Namibia’s team could only score 144 runs for 5 wickets. The team has managed to make it to the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup for the record 5th time. No other team has been able to do this. The teams of Sri Lanka and West Indies have reached the semi-finals 4-4 times. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan scored brilliant half-centuries in the match.

Chasing the target, Namibia lost the wicket of Michael van Lingen (4) in the second over. He was bowled by Hasan Ali. Stephen Byrd (29) and Craig Williams (40) showed good hands, but they could not play big innings. David Weiss also scored an unbeaten 43, but it was insufficient for the team. For the first time in the tournament, Pakistan’s team has won a match while batting first. Earlier, the team had won all three matches chasing the target.
